I've seen a lot of tutorials using small perler beads — in case any sisters need to work with large pattern sheets, I'm posting this tutorial for reference. You can draw up to 128×128 🤗 This tutorial doesn't require a stylus! You can do it freehand!
Step 1: Search on 🍠 for the pattern sheet you want to make. You can work with large patterns up to 128×128. A big thank you to the goddess @岁晚星眠 (perler bead version) — the pattern sheet is so cute (p7)
Step 2: In the item workshop, select Craft Item 👉 Treasure 👉 Any 👉 Blank (remember to upgrade first to unlock this feature)
🌟 Step 3: Switch to Professional Mode. Follow p4 to set up your canvas for 128×128; follow p5 for 65×65; follow p6 for 32×32. Pinch to zoom the pattern sheet to a size you're comfortable with, and so on — adjust based on the pattern size and bead count you need. Once you're done drawing, you can adjust the overall pattern sheet size and position.
Then you can happily bead away in the app!
This method doesn't require a stylus — you can play with just your fingers. When you hit a large block of color, just close off the edges and fill it in with the paint bucket. Super convenient, easy to use, and fun — it's saved me from having to buy perler beads and an iron. I was just thinking about getting into the perler bead hobby too.
Oh, and if you find your hand shakes easily, you can turn on "Draw along guide lines" — I didn't use it. Lastly, here's an image to close out — the one of Tomoyo after it was given to her, where she kept staring at it (the episode that stayed most true to the original story)
